Khia De Silva is the Nutrition Manager at the Arnhem Land Progress Aboriginal Corporation (ALPA). In this episode Khia talks about working as a nutritionist embedded within a retail environment to support the implementation of the ALPA Health and Nutrition strategy across ALPA’s retail businesses in top end Australia.
We talk about balancing nutrition outcomes with financial viability of remote stores and Khia details Healthy Stores 2020, a sugar reduction strategy, within ALPA stores in collaboration with Monash University and Menzies School of Health that led to a reduction of 1.8 tonnes of sugar being purchased across 10 stores in 12 weeks whilst maintaining financial viability of stores. We also go into what other action is needed to support more affordable and accessible healthy food in remote stores.
